Hi!

My wife has a gold aluminum AW series 4 (40mm) but now battery is a nightmare and the processor starts to show its age.

Now I want to buy a new AW for Christmas for her, but she really love her gold Milanese loop strap.

So options are two, aluminum series 9 in starlight and stainless steel model in gold.
The problem with SS model is its weight, much heavier and less comfortable to wear than aluminum model, and of course, the price…(she is not going to use cellular connection).

What do you thing about starlight and gold milanese loop combination??

Series 7 GSS 45

After seeing both combinations, I think gold tone of SS is a little bit different of Milanese loop color. What do you think about starlight with gold ML combination? Is it good when you see it life?

The nice thing about the Starlight finish is that it tends to reflect the color of whatever band is next to it. So it will appear goldish next to the gold Milanese band. There are lots of youtube videos of the Starlight and gold Milanese combo, it seems to be a very popular choice. Here’s one:
